How Will Enforcement Officers Know That I've Paid? Will My Payment Show on the Meter?

Parkmobile payments do not integrate with the meters in this area. While your payment will not show on the meter, the officer will use your license plate number, zone number, and space number to view your Parkmobile payment on a handheld device. As such, please make sure to add any additional license plate numbers to your account before creating a parking session in order to make sure your parking transactions are correctly created.

If your vehicle does not have a license plate number, you can use the last 4 digits of your VIN, in place of license plate number (for example, you would enter 1234). After receiving your license plates, you must add the license plate information to your account.

Zone Number Information and Range:

Zone numbers are a critical part of your transaction and must be recorded correctly in order for your parking session to be identified correctly by the parking enforcement officers. Zone numbers vary by area. You MUST identify your Parkmobile zone number from the green Parkmobile signage located in your parking lot.

In the parking areas in Walnut Creek, CA zone numbers range from 1701-1791.

Area Specific Parkmobile Phone Number:

The Parkmobile toll-free phone number to reach the automated system to register and/or start or extend your parking sessions is: 877-727-5718 (877 PARK 718). If you are parking in Walnut Creek, CA and call any other Parkmobile phone number you will be at risk parking in a zone in the wrong geographical area and the parking officers in your area wouldn't see your parking payment in that case.

Credit Cards Accepted:

Can transactions in zones in this area be stopped? Extended? Why or why not?

You can not stop a session once started. You must select the amount of time you want in advance and pay for that time with your credit card. If you chose more time than you needed, you will not be able to stop the session or get a refund.

You are able to extend your parking time, if you see that you need more than the amount you initially paid for, as long as you haven't already chosen the maximum allowed. In order to extend a transaction it must still be active and not yet expired. Example: if the maximum is 4 hours, and you chose 1 hour, you can then extend your session before it expires for up to an additional 3 hours. Note that extensions are separate transactions, and therefore each extension carries a transaction fee as well.

There is a 15-minute no parking return time after a transaction ends. This means the customer must move their vehicle to another zone (not just another space) and can return in 15 minutes. Another zone can usually be found on the other side of the street, or on another block of the street.
